Castille Tradicion de Aresan Tempranillo Cabernet Sauvignon Petit Verdot 2020

Estate Overview

Produced by **Finca Aresan** in Castilla-La Mancha, Spain, **Castille Tradición de Aresan** highlights the perfect balance between Spain’s iconic Tempranillo grape and the structure of Cabernet Sauvignon and Petit Verdot. The estate practices sustainable viticulture, focusing on crafting expressive and balanced wines that respect both tradition and terroir.

Terroir

The vineyards are planted on well-drained clay-limestone soils, benefiting from the sunny, dry climate of Castilla-La Mancha with significant temperature variation between day and night. This allows for full ripening of the grapes while preserving freshness and aromatic intensity.

Winemaking

The grapes are harvested at optimal maturity and vinified in stainless steel tanks with controlled temperatures to preserve varietal character. Gentle maceration and extraction techniques help achieve smooth tannins and vibrant fruit expression. The wine undergoes a short aging period in oak barrels to add depth and complexity while maintaining its fruit-forward profile.

Tasting Notes

Deep ruby red color with purple reflections. The nose opens with ripe aromas of blackberries, plums, and black cherries, enhanced by spicy notes of pepper, cocoa, and vanilla. On the palate, the wine is smooth and well-balanced, offering supple tannins, fresh acidity, and a generous, fruit-driven finish. The 2020 vintage delivers richness, harmony, and great drinkability.

A smooth and expressive Spanish red blend—fruit-forward, balanced, and elegant, combining Tempranillo’s charm with the structure of Cabernet Sauvignon and the depth of Petit Verdot.
